Aaron Judge shatters TV with batting practice home run
The legend of Aaron Judge continues to grow.
Judge’s batting practice sessions have become appointment viewing and Tuesday was no different. Prior to the Yankees’ game against the Blue Jays, Judge was in the cage taking his customary swings when he launched a ball that ended up causing some damage.
The 25-year-old launched a ball that found its way into one of the outfield terraces and shattered a big screen television. Here’s video and a photo of what the TV looked like afterward.

Judge doesn’t just hit home runs during batting practice, though. He came into the game tied for the American League lead with 10 home runs. His .725 slugging percentage was also good for first place.
In the bottom of the third inning, Judge added to his total with No. 11, a solo shot off of Toronto starter Mat Latos.
